Muscle Release Technique
Once your injury has been identified after coming to our clinic, then specific muscle release techniques are used. These non-invasive techniques combine physical manipulations and movement of the injured muscle at the site. The muscle release technique uses precise pressure combined with active stretching. It entails identifying, isolating and targeting the affected area to break up restricting muscle tissue. This break-up of muscle tissue promotes greater blood flow and faster healing of the injured area.
Who is Muscle Release Best Suited For?
Muscle Release Technique or MRT is the best treatment for injured individuals who want to get back on their feet as fast as possible.
At our clinic, we treat patients ranging from high-level professional athletes, Weekend Warriors to anybody suffering from pain.
Conditions That Are Treated With MRT
Muscle tissue injuries or nerve conditions that would benefit from MRT as a first option include:
- Headaches
- Neck pain
- TMJ pain (jaw pain)
- Shoulder pain
- Tennis elbow/golfers elbow
- Wrist and hand pain
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
- Pain between shoulders
- Rib pain
- Low back pain
- Sciatica
- Herniated discs injuries of the neck or low back
- Hip/groin pain
- Knee injuries
- Foot and ankle pain
- Plantar fasciitis
- Heel spurs
- Reduced range of motion
- Loss of strength
Consequences of Leaving an Injury Untreated
Untreated soft tissue injuries can change the way you move, forcing other tissue and bones to pick up the slack to compensate for a reduced range of motion or weakness. This compensation will affect proper and efficient joint and limb use, and the altered biomechanics can lead to wear and tear that can ultimately become tissue degeneration.
